Our panzer is black
Happy the young heart
Our weapons are of steel
Made from German metal
And when we drive into position
When the battle will start
We cry hurra hurra
For the counterattack!

And when the battle has ended
When the war is over
German tank crews return
Victoriously home

R: So comrades
Hear the commands
And write them deep
Into the young heart
always forwards, accelerate
Life must be fought for

That is moving, very touching.
I think that the Panzers of Gremany were a very noble foe, and I am glad to see that they still thrive someplace.

what i dont understand is the whole counterattack part. wasnt the whole point of blitzkreig to attack first and swiftly and end the battle as soon as possible?

panzerfaust

the real german panzer song is named PANZERLIED! and his first strophe is:
ob'sturm t oder schneit ob die sonne uns lacht
der tag gluhend heiss oder eiskallt die nacht...
and this song was used by wehmacht panzer troops and it's still in use in bundeswehr today!
